1617 - Ramon Llull's Mystical System of Philosophy - Complete Works
A beautiful edition of the collected works of the Catalan mystic, philosopher, knight and alchemist Ramon Llull. His system, or Ars Magna (The Great Art), was a system of combination by which all truth could be derived, from alchemy to theology, almost like an algorithm for reality itself. His system would earn him the condemnation of the Inquisition but the praise of many subsequent occult authors from Bruno to Agrippa. This volume contains his complete work, along with many foldouts, and beautiful diagrams all within a tight and handsome binding. A truly spectacular volume and a cornerstone of Western Esotericism.
